Financial health
We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

Governance
This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

Impact evidence
Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.
Programs described in its return (1)
- $93,275 spent. 193,074 MEALS WERE MADE FOR THE STARVING. 638 VOLUNTEERS GAVE TWO HOURS OF THEIR TIME THIS YEAR TO HELP SAVE LIVES. OVER 193,074 MEALS WERE SHIPPED TO THE REFUGEES FLEEING WAR IN UKRAINE. WE HEARD OF MANY WHO WERE NOT CHRISTIANS TELL OUR CONTACTS THAT THEY DIDN'T BELIEVE CHRISTIANS WERE HONORABLE BECAUSE OF THE THINGS THEY HAD HEARD ABOUT THEM. BUT WHEN THEY STARTED RECEIVING FOOD FROM US AND OTHERS, THEY CHANGED THEIR MINDS, AND IN MANY CASES THEY CHANGED TO CHRISTIANITY BECAUSE OF IT. HOPELESSNESS TURNED INTO HOPE.
